When I was in high school. I thought I'd be a nurse. But not just any nurse. A Labor and Delivery nurse. Then I found out that most of the time you have to pay your dues at the bottom of the totem pole changing bed pans for a while, so I gave up on that dream really quickly. My love of photography won out. When I discovered that photographing births was a thing, that just seemed like the ultimate winning combination. How can you go wrong?!? This beautiful mamma and her family were so sweet to let me document this special day, the birth of their second child, a son. I, to this day, have never seen so much love and support in one room. Not to mention, little miss mamma was flawless! I only wish I could look that collected and polished the next time I give birth!
So, what IS birth photography? I get that a lot. Birth photography documents the moments and interactions that make the birth of a child so special. It's not meant to be invasive, or uncomfortable in any way. In fact, the photographer mostly fades into the background quietly capturing those moments you will hold so dear so that you can look back and relive them over and over. This is especially important when you think about the fact that mom and dad's focus can usually be directed in a different direction, so having these photos helps them to view the experience from a different perspective.
Most people who I talk to about this are very wary about WHAT will be photographed. Your private areas are not photographed. This is meant to be a modest, classy and beautiful way to document your day. I aim to provide photos you'd feel comfortable showing your friends and family. So rest assured, that is something you will not have to worry about. And now, for the photos...
